Ok, you showed us your beautuful pre A. What's your plan? Keep it in this condition? I hope it will be on the road again soon.

Cheers, Olli

Ciao Claudio. Your car looks great! And welcome to 356Talk.

Perhaps if funds are low, you could get the car into driveable condition. Keep it in green primer and just get everything mechanically fixed to make it roadworthy - brakes, steering, engine, gearbox, glass, etc.

Since this is an interim or export bumper coupe, was it originally delivered to the USA? Perhaps it has (or had) a typ 527 1500 motor?

Very nice, and thank you for sharing.

Kind regards,
James
